Re: Making swarm-1.2 work with redhat 5.1

Paul,

You have sent me a couple of notes about getting swarm going but because I
was pressed for time I waited until 1.2 was available. I just had another
go - using your post recently as another guide:

I used:

"CC=egcs LIBS=-lpthread ./configure --with-tclobjcdir=../tclobj/
--with-bltdir=../blt8.0-unoff/ --with-ffidir=../libffi/"

This goes alright for a while and then I get:

"checking directory of tclObjc.h... no
configure: error: Please use --with-tclobjcincludedir or --with-tclobjcdir
to specify location of tclobjc header files"

Is there a simple solution to this?
 
Thanks,

Phil.
